Misery Loves Company

I am so miserable today, not only do I have loads to do, the weather has been shitty, warm yesterday and cold today... I am so miserable.

With Ramadan around the corner, just preparing stuff, ordered my savouries, samoosas, spring rolls, moonies. And I decided that I am going to make mini sheesh kebabs with cheese inside them, it is quite simple... here is the recipe if you wanna try...

CHEESY KEBAABS

Ingredients:

1 egg, beaten ½ cup milk
1 cup fresh bread crumbs
½ tsp ground garlic salt / pepper to taste
1 onion – grated
½ tsp origanum or parsley
500g mince
2 tsp green masala
mozzarella or sweetmilk cheese, cut into strips
¼ cup flour
½ tsp salt
½ tsp ground red chillies

Method:

• Combine the first 9 ingredients together, mix thoroughly
• Shape into croquettes (long finger shapes), placing cheese in the center
• Combine the flour, salt and chillies together. Coat croquettes in this mixture
• Dip in egg and breadcrumbs
• Freeze and fry when required
• Deepfry until golden all round

I also want to get some mini pita breads and fill them with chicken filling but that I would have to make fresh

So domesticated... :)

I have not written in a while, I was sick on Tuesday so I left work early and on Wednesday I was sick at home, laying on the couch for most of the day, taking meds and sleeping.

Well I am back at work and yes, it is Friday, what a miserable day, at least the sun is shining a lil bit now but still damn cold.

When is this misery ever going to end?

I want sunshine!!!

Found some beautiful sunshine last night....

Tattoo

Tye had her tattoo done on Saturday..... hectic, she was moaning and groaning but still wanted the thing done. I was a bit jealous at the end result but of course I am muslim and it is not allowed. My BFF (Best Friend Forever) also wants to go for one, she wants a rosary around her ankle just like Nicole Ritchie.

Also spent the weekend at my BFF's place, watched movies and we were chatting about her wedding next year. She asked me to be her Maid of Honour! I am speechless!

Here are some pics of the tattoo

The Zoo

My worlplace is honestly like a damn zoo! The animals just wonder in and out as they please and are always hanging out at the watering hole (the kitchen) and gossiping like monkeys.

I mean, what has happened to work ethic and professionalism. They are taking it for granted. One of them is even running her personal business from here, using the phone, fax, email and they even had their very own staff member. Hahaha, it makes me laugh but it also irritates me to the point of not coming to work.

I have complained already and the one with the staff member did get questioned about running her own business.

I mean, I am not asking for a quiet office but one that is functional like every other office I have worked for, respect your workplace and your colleagues and yes, give a damn for a change.

So now I have decided to turn my music up on my earphones and ignore everyone, just greet them and do my own stuff.

They really need a wake up call before it is too late!

Obsession

Am I obsessed? All I do everyday is think about my weight and then I get all depressed and eat anything I can get my hands on.

If it was not for those damn pills I took I would have been a size XS! But now I am a size M bodering on L in some stuff. I hate it.

Weirdly enough, I can't bring myself to starve myself, I have to eat or I feel really shaky. I also have to start gym, I will this month, winter is almost over and I have to have a lovely body!

So what am I doing about my dilemma....

- Eat less, at least 1000 calories a day (that is not bad at all)
- Read, read read, blogs, websites etc to educate myself and get info on what worked for others
- Excercise at least 40 minutes of cardio and some free weights

I have been visiting some anorexic girls sites, not that I am pro anorexia but I was just reading about what extreme methods they use, which will not work for me but I also feel really sorry for them! They try so hard!

Love yah....

PS. on the ana websites, they have "Thinspiration", someone they aspire look like.... here is mine :)

Miami Mice

I went to watch Miami Vice last night, how awful. It was the worst movie I ever watched, what was Michael Mann (the director) thinking. It was so amateur and seemed like a home movie. How could Colin Farrell act in it. Jamie Foxx, well the movie is fine for him, coz I don't like him anyway.

Now I can imagine what the movie Dallas is going to be like, crappy.

Other than that last night I went to workout at the gym, 20 minutes on the treadmill and 20 minutes on the bike, I felt really good after. Need to get into shape before Ramadaan. Oh yes, I forgot to mention I am muslim.

My friend Booty had a small accident with her car last night.... I hope she is doing okay.

Bio

I am currently 25 :) and staying in the City of Gold in South Africa. I live with my flatmate and my younger sister has recently moved in with me and she has also started a new job.

Life is good, comfortable living, great friends, good job (Office/Project Manager). I am currently fighting a mini bulge, picked up some extra kilos and now I am battling to get rid of it, it is amazing, a three years ago I was slim and then I was suffering from anxiety and my doc put me on some crazy antidepressants and they made me pick up weight. Damn!

So now I am fighting the mini-bulge and also to relieve my stress shopping alot (which is really bad for my bank balance).

It was my birthday last month and I have made a few birthday resolutions:

- Lose the extra baggage
- Stop spending uneccessarily
- Look after my health

A few of my passions are:

- Victoria Beckham (not only do I admire her beauty and her fashion sense, but her busy lifestyle and still finding time to be a mother, I guess people with loads of money should not be selfish when it comes to kids)
- Cosmetics and Hair care
- I love the web, it is an endless resource of information
- My man! He has been there for me through the worst of it all, he has helped me be the person I am today!

So that is me!

Initiation

My first entry... and an entry to another world, the online world where anyone can pretend to be someone else.

Unfortunately I am me, and it is already really difficult being me so why be someone else? Far too much work.

So I am writing my first entry and also thinking about what the readers wanna know about me.... Well my next post will explain my character in full.

Chose my fave person as my blog name..... HerMajestyPosh and the title of my blog does justice to HM posh as well "if you don't have it fake it"

Look forward to sharing myself with everyone.....
